Remote little gem of a campground if you can time it to avoid the bugs; hosts were nice, bathrooms and trash were in good shape

Beautiful area! The on line map was not up to date- site #40 is shown to be lakeside- it is not. #41 is. Many of the campsites are very close together, which can make for awkward camping, trying to be a polite neighbor. I was there mid week in September- fewer bugs and less people- but the people started streaming in Thursday night and Friday, when I left. Chipmunks are persistent, one spent the night in my car! Luckily nothing was destroyed and it ate the food that had fallen between the seats! Lots of hiking and exploring options.
